Post subject: Speaking Of Video...

Allan's latest newsletter focuses on video. Timely for this reader, as I've just gotten back in to video this month.
In the past, I've usually made nature videos, but I tried my hand at some promo vids this time. It was fun!
The tools I used were:
GarageBand (free on Macs) - soundtrack
iMovie (free on Macs) - video editing
iStockphoto.com - copyright free photos that cost a buck or two a piece.
Skills required are modest, at least for the software I'm using. Fooling around with the software for a few days just for fun might be enough training for many users.
Here's my best promo movie so far.
Disclaimer, this movie gently promotes a web site. That site is still under construction, and there will be nothing for sale there. If you don't wish to watch a promo movie, please don't click next link.
Don't forget to turn on/up your audio before viewing. The main thing I learned from making this movie is the crucial importance of a soundtrack. Watch the vid with and without the audio, and note the difference.

If you're also working on movies, perhaps you'd like to share them here. _________________ The best nature on the Net, delivered to your inbox.
